Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and gently stretch it into an even 12-inch circle. Brush the surface with melted unsalted butter to add richness and help the toppings adhere.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
  4. Apply Toppings: Spread the softened butter evenly over the butter-brushed dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter, leaving a small border around the edges for a nice crust.
  5. Bake: Place the pizza pan in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cinnamon sugar topping is bubbly and lightly caramelized.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Add a small splash more milk if the glaze is too thick.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for five minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm pizza, then cut into eight wedges and serve.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning the cinnamon sugar.
  • Softened butter spreads more easily and evenly for the cinnamon sugar layer.
  • Use parchment paper or a non-stick pizza pan to prevent sticking.
  • This dessert pizza is best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a day and gently reheated.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter and milk with vegan alternatives.
